A Microsoft 365 outage lasting more than 22 hours disrupted Outlook and other services for roughly 430 million users worldwide, with impacts reported in over 70 countries. Microsoft said the cause was routine automated checks that took servers offline and overloaded remaining ones, not a cyber-attack, and has since apologised. Affected organisations included the US House of Representatives, Australian intelligence agencies, Singapore's courts and Indian airline support desks.
